In this way I can start proftpd with a call in /etc/rc file, so, the proftp will start like root but could run with user and group nobody. If the user want restart, he will have restart the virtual server... :-( But... if user want run any proftpd command (like ftpwho), I don't know how... :-( BK> You could use ipchains/iptables to counter balance this and get BK> proftpd listening on a non-privileged port as a non-privileged user BK> (using port redirection) Like occurs with apache (80 -> 8080) in iptables? BK> What other program are you planning to use on port 21? (just curious) I need a machine to run a program called rinetd (to make redirects for ips and ports: like some 200.200.200.200 80 300.300.300.300 81) because I need this for a project. Well, I don't have more any fisical computer to do this, so, I decided install rinetd inside a virtual server. But rinetd not bind any ports if the server already bind the port. Explain better: if I use rinetd to redirect port 80 to port 81, I don't can use Apache (in this virtual server) in port 80, understand? Well, I disable Apache, but now, I need redirect port 21 to other, and I cannot do this because Proftpd alredy run in port 21...
